Brazil, where solar installations last year were less than 1 percent of those in world leader Germany, is developing policies that may boost rooftop panel sales to $3 billion within 20 years.
Homeowners and businesses in Brazil may now trade electricity generated during the day by rooftop solar systems to utilities in exchange for the power they consume at night, under rules announced April 17 by the Brasilia-based power regulator Agencia Nacional de Energia Eletrica.
